take_five epitome of incomprehensibility A riff from this song came to me when I was in bed a year or so ago, and I tried to transcribe it, knowing it was something I'd heard before and not made up. I didn't put it in 5/4. If I had, I probably would've remembered the name. Instead, I only realized what it was a couple of weeks ago when I came across the scrap of paper and hummed the notes. In my own occasional music, I have a song that alternates 5/4 with 4/4 and 6/4. I'm also thinking about 5-note tuplets. (But show, don't tell; at least not in a dull by_the_numbers way.) 220218 ... raze the song was written to showcase joe morello's drumming. but it's paul desmond's dancing saxophone melody that always sneaks into my head when i want to hear something pretty. 221203 what's it to you? who go blather from
